How To Make pork green chile stew

  • 1
    Season the pork meat generously with salt and pepper.
  • 2
    Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chunks well in small batches, on all sides. Remove pork and put into a large Dutch oven.
  • 3
    Discard fat and place the onions and peppers in the same skillet and sweat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until limp, about 5 minutes.
  • 4
    Add all of the chiles and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
  • 5
    Add the Sauteed vegetables, pureed tomatillos, dried herbs, RoTel tomatoes, and cilantro to the meat. Cover with the chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a slight simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours uncovered or until the pork is fork tender.
  • 6
    Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with red rice for a delightful contrast.
